The NFA Daily Spotlight: New Study Shows Sex-Based Differences In Track Events

University Professor Dr. Greg Brown joined the NFA Daily Spotlight to discuss his new research study that demonstrates the differences in speed between girls and boys in the 8 and under and 9–10-year-old age groups.

According to the study, “Over the 7 years evaluated, the fastest males were 3.7 ± 2.3% faster than the fastest females, with the fastest male performance being faster than the fastest female in every event.”

Boys and girls have unique biological traits that make a difference in athletic abilities and performance. Female sports should be for female athletes.

Dr. Brown teaches exercise science and physiology at the University of Nebraska Kearney and is a member of the American Physiological Society. The viewpoints and opinions expressed in these episodes are Dr. Greg Brown’s. He is not speaking on behalf of the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
